Abstract
The most common otolaryngologic features associated with LMBBS include SNHL, speech and language disorders, and oral and dental abnormalities. Early otolaryngologic, audiologic, speech pathology, and dental evaluation of these individuals is recommended. This is the first reported case of bifid epiglottis, a rare congenital laryngeal anomaly, found in association with LMBBS. Most patients with bifid epiglottis have additional congenital anomalies, most commonly polysyndactyly. Polysyndactyly is a feature of both LMBBS and bifid epiglottis and may be an early hallmark for the presence of other congenital anomalies.Keywords
